Zimbabwe First Lady Auxillia Mnangagwa faces planned protests during her June visit to Britain. UK human rights groups want answers about jailed reporter Blessed Mhlanga. British lawmakers plan to question her about her husband's harsh government actions. The House of Lords discussed her trip yesterday when Lord Johnny Oates spoke up. He urged other officials to confront her when she arrives.
Lord Oates told the upper chamber that Mhlanga sits in jail just for doing an interview. The reporter talked with someone who criticized corruption among top officials. The critic pointed fingers at President Mnangagwa's family members. British leaders also worry about reports that Zimbabwe's president wants to stay in power longer than allowed. UK Parliament members seem ready to make her visit uncomfortable with tough questions.
